Hi Mariette, use plastic wrap, oil it slightly, spread the rice, then proceed as regular sushi. Roll tightly like a jelly roll. At this point you can use the sushi mat.

Veggie sushi really a great food! Does anyone know what type of filling (beside avocado, cucumber, pineapple and/or tofu) can we put inside veggie sushi? I am interested to try other combination of filling. Thank you

I have tried sushi with avacado but surely pineapple is an interesting filling! Tofu must have been really good!
